An Auburn artist, general contractor and farm safety specialist,
told friends gathered at a Christmas Party in his home that a letter from his
father revealed the family relationship he has with the famous artist Vincent
van Gogh (1853-1890). ~ December 19, 2005

At a holiday party in 2005, Jesse announced that upon his
adoptive father's death, a 20+ page letter was left to him. The very lengthy letter
explained his family background and his relations to Vincent Van Gogh as his great
grandfather.

You can view the holiday tape to hear Jesse explain
his background to his close friends.
